Frost leaves a sign on your window,
Now you know the summer's been and gone,
You wonder when you'll see another one,
Where did your sweet love go?
There goes the phone and the doorbell
Old friends are passing on the way
People stopping by just to say:
How are you today?
A day is very long
How long can you say?
How long anyway?
A day is very long
How long can you say?
How long anyway?
A day is very long
Beneath the floor and the doorway
We found something buried in the clay
When they brought it out I looked away
Been missing for so long.
Old friend so-and-so was asking
Have I thought of putting it all down
God forbid I shouldn't be around
One day myself to tell them
A day is very long
How long can you say?
How long anyway?
A day is very long
How long can you say?
How long anyway?
A day is very long
